Shelby wants the one man she can’t have…

Crushing on a man who deserves more than she can give is a recipe for disaster, so it’s best to keep him at arm’s length.

Parker prides himself on control— taking what he wants when he wants. And has been craving the perky, petite pixie ever since he laid his eyes on her, but she’s turned down his every attempt to make her his.

When Parker discovers Shelby’s hiding a devastating secret, he steps in to help… and this time he won’t take no for an answer.

Can he convince her he’s fallen in love with her, and if they only have this time together, they should make the best of it?

Not Negotiable-5 stars

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 26, 2016

Not Negotiable is a book about love, hope and a woman's fight against cancer. Shelby Whitman has battled cancer once and beat it. But the battle left emotional and physical scars that she deals with daily. She feels like she is less than a woman and doesn't deserve to have love or family in her life. She has lost control of her body but she can control who she allows into her life. She is a member of the bdsm community and that community has allowed her to make choices in her life. Master Parker also a member of the bdsm community has wanted start a relationship with Shelby but she continually denies him. When cancer once again rear it's ugly head and Shelby has to go thru the struggles of chemotherapy the Dom in Parker takes over.

The talented and tasteful way the the cancer and it's treatments are woven through the fabric of the story is a testament to the authors skill. I can say from personal experience Cole is spot on. I was drawn to the story because cancer has taken something or someone from all of us and this book triumphs over that. I commend the author for her ability to tell a story with all of the elements that this one has. You will truly enjoy this standalone HEA story that is part of the Trident Security series. You do not need to read any of the other books to enjoy this one. I highly recommend this book if you love alpha men and the woman they love. Love conquers all.

Never Alone

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2021

The main thing I get from each Trident story is the concept of Family. The men and women are always there for each other. Parker and Shelby's story was a pleasure to read. Her reasons for not playing with him are valid, but he doesn't understand why she never gave him the chance. When he has the chance to be there for her, he is. Their story doesn't have any bad guy coming after them, but it has something scarier that they can't just punch or shoot. The way Parker deals with Shelby's secret is heartwarming. Time to continue my Trident Security addiction with the next book.

Parker and Shelby’s story may not have had the bad guys and action/suspense that the previous stories did but that didn’t make it any less intriguing and enchanting. Their story will pull at your heartstrings and needing more of Trident Security. I cannot wait to see whose story is next.

Shelby is one tough Sub, on the inside. On the outside, she is a bubbly pixie. She's beaten that big, nasty, ugly, "C"........ only to be...... struck again. She's trying her best to handle this round on her own. She's pushing away the 1 man who does truly seem to care about her, HER as a woman, not just as a Sub.

Parker cant get Shelby out of his mind. He has been wanting to do a scene with her, to get to know her....to claim her as his Sub. But she's pushing him away, he has no idea why. After Parker brings his brother to the club, which only becomes a big old mess. Parker pays for the mess he caused.

After the punishment Parker was dealt is over, he again is trying to convince Shelby to be his Sub. Only problem is? She's not around!! Where is she? Parker goes to find out and discovers that there is more to Shelby than what he had thought.

Will cancer take Shelby before Parker can convince her that he is the Dom and man for her? Can Shelby take the chance of a life time? Will she?

Go right on ahead and read this story.

In fact, get all of the books and read them! I plan to!!

These two are super cute. I was hoping we’d get to see what happens with them after we met them in an earlier book. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

My favorite of this series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 22, 2017

This story was personal for me. I've had a few scares with cancer so it hit home in a big way. Shelby is battling cancer, again, and doesn't let anyone at the club know. She thinks if she holds them all at arms length, she won't get attached. Master Parker has had a thing for Shelby for awhile now but never could get her to agree to scene with him. When he finds out what is going on in her life, he goes into "Dom mode" and lets her know that he is going to take care of her. It's Not Negotiable!! What develops between them is a very loving and caring relationship that is more than just a D/s one.

I loved how Parker was firm with her about taking care of herself but he did it with tenderness and love. It helped Shelby come out of her shell. This was a short novella that was packed full of emotions and you felt like you were right there.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2017

Shelby is a sub. She has always wanted Master Parker but turns him down twice because she feels he needs a wife kids and she can't give him that. She can't have children due to cancer.
Parker has always wanted Shelby but she keeps turning him down. His brother has asked him to take him to the club. When he defies the rules and leaves him alone for a few minutes, he comes out of the bathroom and finds out his brother has slapped Shelby. He punches him.
Shelby has found a lump and knows the cancer is back. When she doesn't show up for 2 weeks, Parker goes to her place. He ends finding out about her cancer by accident. His Dom in him takes over. Now he just needs to convince her he is not going anywhere.
I absolutely loved this one. True love conquers all evils. Samantha Cole took a hard subject and showed true love will heal all.

Although I've read the earlier books in this series I just had to write how much I loved this book. It really got to me as I myself have had 2 bouts of cancer this year ( thankfully I'm in remission too). The love that Parker has for Shelby shines through every page on this book and I was so glad that she returned the love back to him! I'm off to read the next book now!

OMG! What a heart rending romance set in BDSM land. I can't praise it highly enough.
I loved it.
The characterisation is exceptional with wonderfully crafted characters and the supporting characters are so well written too.
No grammatical errors or editorial mistakes.

This book kind of touched my heart. Being I'm Shelby's shoes I felt her pain, disappointment, and not looking for pity. I loved how Parker just stepped in and took over, and their loved blossomed.

When I realised this was a novella for Parker and Shelby, I wasn't sure if it would be good because it wasn't based on the Trident guys, bit I shouldn't have questioned that. It was a perfect story. Perfect length.

I look forward to the next book. 😊

This is my first book by this author.

This is Shelby and Parker's story. They both belong to a BDSM club and are attracted to each other. However Shelby holds Parker at bay and won't interact with him because she has a secret and does not want to share it with him.

True love finally finds a way in and this is a sweet romantic story. The BDSM is just a backdrop and this is not engaged in because Shelby is not up to it.

It was a sweet read!
